Summary of recent changes

  1. Removal of Administrative Fee: The new terms no longer include the Administrative Fee (£20 + VAT per Company per User), and reflect the new pricing structure
  2. Introduction of Proprietary Data Definition: The new terms include a comprehensive definition of "Proprietary Data,". This is important, since over the past few years our data sources have increased greatly and the insights we can generate from those now form sets of useful products.
  3. Confidentiality Clause Addition: The new terms introduce a confidentiality clause (Clause 20). This more clearly outlines how we treat your organisation’s data as confidential. 
  4. Modification of Compliance Statements Clause: Clause 7 in the new terms has been modified to be less specific to the Modern Slavery Act and more broadly applicable to various compliance documents.
  5. Variation of Terms: The new terms allow for changes to the terms and require customers to agree to these changes to continue their subscription. This provision offers more flexibility to adapt the terms as the business evolves.
  6. Termination Related to Changes in Terms: Adjustments in Clause 16 accommodate termination related to changes in the terms, providing a structured approach to managing subscriptions if terms are altered.
  7. Simplification and Streamlining: The new terms have been simplified and focused, our intent being to improve transparency and readability whilst also reflecting changes in our business model.
